A context menu that acts like a real context menu, i.e. shows options
that are most relevant to the current context either exclusively or at
least in some kind of prominent position, e.g. at the top. This has been
discussed a few times already, but not real plans or work have been done
yet.

A downside is that it would change the order of the option in the latter
case (think of e.g. the Select menu being sorted to the menu bottom is
there is no selection) and not show some at all in the former case (if
e.g. all disabled options would not be shown at all in GIMP menus).
